The undergraduate Product Design Engineering programme has been designed to allow students to bring their creative and academic abilities to construct innovative products that answer commercial and social needs. Students will study subjects in design processes, mathematics, manufacturing technology as well as electronics. Students of Product Design Engineering develop the engineering skills needed to turn basic ideas into fully functioning products. Graduates are encouraged to explore design awareness and aesthetics through the use of sustainable materials and manufacturing processes and technologies. Such expertise can be utilised in varying career paths such as a materials engineer, industrial product designer and architect.
The ever-changing dynamics in product development are fundamental to the global economy. The expertise gained by students from this degree will benefit Indonesia’s creative and manufacturing industries which are seeking innovative measures to export more locally produced value-added products.
The Indonesian government’s campaign to promote the country’s creative industries comes of the back of a rising middle-class and a youthful demographic. Students are therefore equipped with the understanding of economics as well as environmental concerns of the industry which is seen as an integral part of Product Design Engineering. With Indonesia undergoing continued industrialisation, the utilisation of the latest technology in product design can enrich and impact the lives of societies across the archipelago. The industry needs innovative, resourceful professionals that are tech-savvy as well as having an entrepreneurial mindset.
At Universitas Prasetiya Mulya, graduates of this study programme are set to advance the customisation approach in product development to cater the increasing demand for tailor-made products.
